Just because we are more or less homebound because of the Coronavirus, I decided to do some maintenance on my wooden (teak) plantcontainers. Two of them are old school palmcontainers; they are deeper than a "normal" plantcontainer. For the first time in thirty years, I sanded and oiled them and they do look fantastic again. Should do that more regularly! The second photo shows a big, fifty years old container with a Trachy in it.

They all look great and to my amazement, quite large for what seems like small 50 to 75 Ltr containers. I guess that those that I have in 150 - 600 LTR containers are set for life, though I yanked a Phoenix robelini out of it's 150 LTR which seemed pot bound and the tree was not growing as vigorously as before. I now have it in a 300 LTR and hope it perks up.

Wow, those look great.  Our oak barrels (they are recycled) here in California, start to deteriorate in about 5 years, and drop their metal sleeves.  Cecile
